Steel Media appoints Jonathan Morris

London, UK – 7
rd Sep 2011 – Steel Media is delighted to
welcome Jonathan Morris into its fold. One of the most respected
figures within the mobile space thanks to almost two decades’
worth of mobile technology knowledge crammed into his head,
Jonathan joins the SM network having relinquished the
What Mobile editorship.

Working alongside the existing SM teams, Jonathan’s
involvement will span a number of titles from Steel Media’s
portfolio, including leading portable gaming portal
Pocket Gamer, sister-site
Pocket Picks and contract publishing activities for Nokia,
Sony Ericsson, Samsung and others. His role will see him capitalise
on his expertise in order to boost hardware and accessory review
coverage, while also working on new, currently unannounced
projects.

“I am really looking forward to bringing my years of
experience reviewing mobile devices to a company that is already
leading the way in the mobile gaming space,” said Jonathan
Morris. “As more and more consumers in developed markets
upgrade from dumb phones to smartphones, content is becoming an
increasingly important consideration for anyone buying a new mobile
phone. It's no longer as simple as choosing a platform, but
choosing the individual device that offers the best experience and
performance.”

“I’m absolutely delighted to add someone of
Jonathan’s calibre to our team,” added Chris James,
Steel Media’s MD. “His knowledge in the mobile hardware
market is second to none and nicely complements our experience in
the apps and games space as we seek to continue our growth.
We’ve got a number of exciting plans in the pipeline, so
expect to hear more about those and some new hires in the months
ahead.”
